Apartment B, 40 Bond Street, Wakefield, WF1 2QP
About Apartment B
Apartment B is a mid-terrace house in Wakefield (WF1 2QP). It has a recorded floor area of 46 m² (around 495 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band A. The latest certificate (December 2020) shows an E (score 41), well below the UK norm with real room to improve. The rating has held steady at E across 2 certificates since September 2011. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and lighting dropped from Very Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 78), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on electricity.
It hasn't traded since February 2007, a hold of 19 years that's notably long for the area. That sale landed at the peak of the pre-credit-crunch market, which is a useful reference point when interpreting the price. Today's modelled estimate of £103,000 sits 58.5% above the 2007 sale of £65,000. At 46 m² it sits well below the postcode median (89 m² across 10 EPCs), making it one of the more compact homes locally.
